This symposium will include three panels:
1. The first panel will focus on the conceptualization of the symposium topic. Panelists will discuss Red Lion, its history, significance, ramifications, and its effects on today’s broadcast regulation landscape (in terms of media diversity, fairness, democratic deliberation and engagement, political programming, local news and public affairs coverage, children’s educational television, etc.)
2. The second panel will feature a discussion/debate between prominent communications industry representatives, policymakers, and theorists on the need for public interest regulation of media, the effectiveness of government efforts to articulate and enforce public interest requirements, and the success of media players in complying with their public interest mandates. It will discuss the politicization of the topic and will explore both market and regulatory philosophies in this field.
3. The third panel will discuss public interest regulation in regard to converged and converging 21st century technologies. Topics may include affirmative government regulation of the Internet, network neutrality, digital television, and the ensuing debate around the need for reinstitution of the fairness doctrine.
University of Chicago Law School Professor Cass Sunstein will be serving as our luncheon speaker. Additional invitees include FCC Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein.
